breast only, my mom keeps saying that i should let him have formula. my feeling is that I am blessed to be able to do this for my child and i want him to have the VERY BEST... not just something that will be "fine" ... I give it my all. Formula obviously has a place...that is to nourish children who's mothers are unable to (by no fault of their own) and NOT just cause I dont feel like it. I am SO greatful that I am able to do it, it breaks my heart when mothers refuse just b/c they dont want to be bothered :/

Formula, because I gave very little milk for both my pregnancies. I pumped for 2 hours and only got 4oz at the max from both breasts which was not enough to fulfill my kids. Breastfeeding is wonderful but many women need to understand that it doesn't come easy to a lot of us, no matter what and formula is not poison is a great alternative for those us unable to sustain our kids with breastmilk.

formula, we have 5 small kids, and I have to maintain my home, take care of the other 4, cook 3 meals, volunteer at the schools ( 2 oldest pre-k and 1st) I have tons of ,my husbands military functions... it is just too hard to do for m personally! I BF for 2 weeks n the beginning and that is all mainly b/c DH is on military leave in that time!
